Your first paragraph is disarming and appreciated.

But “purely Ideological? I’m not sure the position of those on the right comes from preconceived notions. I am confronted almost daily with more and more ecological regulations that impact my life and those around me in the Pacific Northwest. I could write reams of examples but the latest coming from my state legislature is a 300 million dollar tax levied on oil refineries and pesticide companies for water runoff cleanup. 75 million is slated for actual clean up and the rest will go into the general fund to combat the state’s deficit.

Protecting your economic well being is not generally evil, whether you’re an individual or a corporation and you don’t need an ideology to tell when someone‘s is robbing you in the name of a public good.
